Pretty cool

Not exactly the organization I'd want to be associated with.

Hate to break it to you guys but the FBI Police are not the FBI, they are basically glorified security guards who patrol the many FBI facilities and such. They damn sure don't go on any raids anywhere!

So a law enforcement agency with it's own law enforcement agency?

I feel like this thread should be full of people debating how the MME could be as a police car, how cool it might look with lights and a big brush guard up front, etc......

I think it looks awesome!

Correct, that's how it should go.

I bet the rear load floor wouldn't support the extra gear they put in the back of patrol cars. Would look pretty bad ass to have the panel lift up and reveal an MiB-style arsenal, though.

It would've been hilarious if there was a National Archives employee in that pic.

Yes, that is actually the case as you would not want highly trained plain clothes agents guarding facilities. So you form a uniformed division within the organization to guard and police facilities. They have full police powers but rarely stray far from base hence being able to use EV’s without range anxiety.

They are not connected, let’s just photo shop Elvis in while we are at it.

Link isn’t working.

Does it at least have the good looking wheels?

Eye of the beholder on the wheels - I don't like these ones so much.

I just wanna talk about the MME--maybe complain about the PAAK or something like that.

Foolishly getting back on topic, it is a very good thing that law enforcement and other agencies that would benefit greatly from BEV's are at least trying them out. We've discussed the Mach E's shortcomings as a police cruiser in prior threads, but since FBI agents don't have to wear bulky utility belts and vests like patrol officers do the Mach E seems like a better fit for them. As a police cruiser, the lightning would probably be a better choice for the reasons I just stated.

Also all of the idling these vehicles do sometimes. There's going to be tremendous fuel savings.
